Re: Australia vs the West Indies

State is well below Test cricket. This applies very much to Katich. Siddons and D Hussey had a few stellar seasons but they didn't even get 1 chance let alone 2.

I doubt Hayden was 30+ when he was given a second go.

I watched a bit of it and it was a fair effort by Katich

The selectors standard MO, keep playing him until he makes a score then say 'I told you so".

Surely there won't be a spot for him once Hayden is back?

Re: Australia vs the West Indies

I suppose he did make a score, finally. Bloody hell.

But I'm with you on this one SS, they make up their minds and then post-justify it regardless of actual results. How Hodgey ever got dropped a couple of games after a double century just boggles the mind.

I don't think there is. He is primarily a middle order batsman and we are pretty well set there.

Cop it on the jaw FFS

He got a hundred in the big arena. May not be the best player to get a hundred for his country but he still did it.
